New Features:

• Analysis is done by using a digital multimeter and using your computer as an oscilloscope
• Major projects include: An automatic night light, A professional quality burglar alarm, Building a digital toy using logic gates, Designing and building an application using Digital Counting Circuits, and Applying Transistors and Op Amps as you build a two-way intercom system
• ABRA Electronics (www.abra-electronics.com/index.html) will be selling a hardware kit featuring all the components in the book (somewhere around $50). They will feature this book on their web site
• Work from ideas to real and useful prototypes, and have something to show for your learning
• Read and build, test and modify ? learning depends on observations
